The Biden administration is expected to re-designate the Houthis as a specially designated global terrorist (SDGT) entity amid continued attacks by the Yemen-based militia, a source familiar told CNN Tuesday.
The administration removed the Houthis’ SDGT designation and de-listed it as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) in February 2021, after it was designated by the Trump administration in its final weeks.
At the time, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the decision to remove the group’s designations was driven by concerns that it could imperil the ability to deliver crucial assistance to the people of Yemen. He said it was “a recognition of the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen.”
Both the SDGT and FTO designations trigger an asset freeze, but only an FTO designation imposes immigration restrictions on members, according to the State Department. The SDGT designation also does not impose sanctions on those who provide “material support” to the group.
As of Tuesday, the administration was not reimposing the FTO designation.

You don’t say!
Maybe we shouldn’t have killed Iran’s nemesis and created a power vacuum…
Full rides at Harvard.
Since we finished everything at our southern border, we can afford to engage in a tit for tat war with religious zealots.
Does this mean that they will be eligible for millions in humanitarian aid, like Hamas has been given by the Biden administration, up until now?
Ahh... good old Chamberlain.
It’s naive people like him who rationalized Hitler as someone who could be talked to... Hitler promised Chamberlain to never invade anything further... but did it anyway shortly thereafter. Exactly what Putin does today.
Putin promised the world he could never imagine invade Ukraine, that such crazy idea was just negative anti-russian smear campaign and “Western paranoia” he said... Well, Putin invaded Ukraine the next day.
Putin adopted Hitlers tactics : Don’t just lie... that’s for amateurs.
If you want to lie... it must be done on a gigantic near-cosmic level!
That’s what Putin did days before his botched invasion.
Putin is not Communist, but he represents pure, refined, and absolute Soviet mentality. He has resurrected Sovietism. We can call it neo-sovietism.
Sovietism and neo-sovietism are in direct opposition to every fiber of good old-fashioned American values, which European-pioneers fought so hard to uphold on the new continent.
May cultural-marxists, wokeists, Hanoi-Jane and Moscow-John people awake from their naive delusions.
They did it because they wanted to negotiate another Iran deal.
Should designate the Democrat party as a globalist terrorist organization.
Yemen’s Houthis get their goodies from Iran. We just caught a boatload of missile parts heading that way.
“Putin is not Communist, but he represents pure, refined, and absolute Soviet mentality. He has resurrected Sovietism.”
That’s pretty accurate. But, if anything, Putin is a fascist:
A rabid nationalist who supports the idea of a national religion; especially if that national religion is an organ of the state and carries the torch of nationalism and its tenets.
“ WHY WOULD THEY EVER BE REMOVED FROM SUCH A LIST?????”
To make room for MAGA and parents at school board meetings
What about Iran, Biden? Go back to The Trump Way, moron.
I just finished listening to Kash Patel’s book “Government Gangsters” and in it, he talked about the perverse and malignant attitude of the Biden Administration when they came in to take power.
Their attitude was: Whatever Trump did, do the complete opposite.
He discussed the plans he had helped develop to pull out of Afghanistan in an orderly fashion over a specific length of time to ensure we got all the people out and all the equipment out.
And he said there were NO plans to give up Bagram AFB after what it had been built into.
And when the Bidens came in, Kash Patel and his team gave the incoming administration the plans that had been drawn up.
They didn’t even look at them or acknowledge them.
If Trump gets in, I want Kash Patel in some critical part of the Cabinet or Administration. And I want General Flynn back in as well.
Thanks for the info on the withdrawal plan that had been put together during Trump's first term. I knew it was supposed to be a gradual withdrawal, because he talked about it, especially after the fiasco Biden created. I hadn't known Kash Patel was involved when it was drawn up. Having both Patel and Flynn back in some capacity, would be extremely good.
Because Trump placed them ON the list. Biden's first months in office were spent reversing almost every policy Trump implemented, without thought or reason. He reversed the Houthi designation less than 30 days in.
Don’t forget the catholic church services and those standing outside baby killing factories.
“FTO designation imposes immigration restrictions on members,”
And:
“...the administration was not reimposing the FTO designation.”

Meaning the Houthis are free to come and go and terrorize in the USA.
Let’s not forget, also, the Houthis are massive slave holders/traders.
I heard a radio news report that the administration had made this designation. No mention of the fact that President Trump had done it previously and this crew undid it.
It’s a Biden Admin. Terrorist “Lite” Listing that won’t even take affect for 30 days.
